24-Hour Day
Whafs The Difference?
The other day I heard a friend whose judgment I value,
say "Most of our troubles, at home as well as abroad, stem
from the fact that we don't like anything that is different."
Take the prosaic question of food—though as one who
prides herself o,n her cooking, I resent the imputation that
food is prosaic. We are set in our tastes by what is familiar.
My little assistant can't understand my fondness for frogs
legs—but doesn't see why anyone doubts that salt roe and
scrambled eggs are tlie perfect breakfast wish. Remember
the complaint and the British Tommy about caviar—"The
bloody jam tastes of fish!"
So it is with people. .For example, there is the famous story
f the Englishman who lived in Paris for twenty years with-
ut learning a word of French—he "wasn't going to encourage them in speaking their silly language."
The poor man rails at the sins of the millionaire. The rich
man looks at the poor as a weakling. Labor is suspicious of
Capital. Capital fears the strength of Labor. You can carry
this on indefinitely.
We are too apt to try to make ourselves big by belittling
others. Instead of frankly and freely admitting that we have
a lot to learn that other people might know, and remembering its correlative thought that maybe we know some things
that, it would do them good to, learn, we shut ourselves up in
a mjrror-lined room. We need to discard the mirrors, open the
windows and see what is outside.
No group is perfect. No group has all the knowledge. This
resentment of difference is not just a resentment by majority.
The minorities are just as quick to condemn or resent any
difference on the part of the majority.
Let us face this problem of differences with some intelligence. None of us can know too much. None of us 'but who'
can learn from others. None of us but who has something to
give in exchange. ' ' ' -----.- - —- .--. - --
How about it? The next time you run up against a "different" person, whether his difference be a difference of
creed or class or color, can't you say "Here is my opportunity." You never can tell—maybe you'll teach him as much as
e will teach you.
If you analyze the statement with which I started, you find
it boils down to "We don't like what we don't know. In that
lies the solution. Knowledge is the key to understanding. It's
hard to. dislike someone you know well.
No formal ceremonies attended
the official opening of Akron-Can- i
ton Airport on a 24 - hour basis
Thursday, May 1, and there was
little flying activity. However,
given good weather, many private
planes are expected to set their
!• wheels down on the three 5,600-
foot runways.
Howard E. Ramsey, manager,
said Stark and Summit counties
now can begin collecting rent from,
the fliers and private firms which
have leased ground.
A formal opening is expected
when, and if, four airlines are
granted permission from, the Civil
Aeronautics Board to switch activities from Akron Municipal Airport. C. A. B. is expected to announce its decision in June.
There will be no traffic control tower operation for a few months so
basic safety rules must be-ifoil owed
by pilots, Mr. Ramsey said. When
there are no wind conditions, the
northeast-southwest runway is to
be tised.
A landing at Akron-Canton Memorial Airport in foggy weather will be easy for
planes in which Instrument Landing System equipment is installed. Tlie sketch
above shows how the Civil. Aeronautics Authority system sends out a beam from tlie
local transmitter at the north-south runway and directs a 2J/2 - degree angle glide
path at the approach end. Pilots will be able follow the two beams lo a sale landing.

Americanism At Work
For a good example of what courageous Americans are doing we should take a look at some of the resolutions passed
in March by the Woman's Society of the North Georgia Conference of the Methodist Church. Five of the resolutions are
as follows:
"We urge, and will continue to expect full justice to be
given in all our courts to all citizens, regardless of station in
life, creed or color, and we urge all Methodist women to lift
their voices both in support of good government and law en*
forcement and in protest against any acts of unfairness or
brutality on the part of any officer of the law and against
injustice wherever found.
"We resolve to intesify our program against the crime of
lynching by: a. Wide distribution of the leaflet, 'What One
Woman Can Do Against Lynching', b. Securing pledges of
church people and public officials to oppose lynching.
"We also earnestly deplore the injection of Race as an issue in any political campaign because doing so provides a
smokescreen to hide real issues; foments fear and distrust on
the part of both races; breeds hatred, injustice and lynch-
ings and encourages Hate organizations; destroys good government; undermines World Peace by causing other nations
to doubt our sincerity.
"We do affirm our unalterable opposition to a 'white primary' because it is in direct violation of the constitutions of
the U. S. and the U. N., of the Discipline of the Methodist
Church, of the Social Creed of the Churches and the principles of the Christian religion. We favor in its place educational requirements fairly and equally administered for all voters.
"We urge our nation to accept it full share "of responsibility
in providing homes for displaced and homeless victims of
totalitarian brutality and religious persecution and we pledge
ourselves as Christians to respond liberally to the calls for
World Relief as long as the need exists."
These women know what Christianity means and what
Americanism is. When more of us have their understanding
and their courage—we shall get on rapidly with the important business of building America in the true traditions of
the founding fathers.
Truth Shows the Way
These are facts of significance. They show what has been
happening- to the people of the United States in the past ten
years during which the pitiless spotlight of truth has been
thrown on the activities of those who have sought to-spread
malicious propaganda to set race against religion. As a result, the American people are more aware 'today than they
have hitherto been of the dangers inherent in the propaganda of the hate-mongers—and they are acting to preserve the
demoer&cy which subversive groups would destroy.
Well aware of .all this, the American. people are setting
themselves against it. They have determined to build a better
democracy. They know that, in order to do it, racial andireli-
gious bigotry must be banished from American life."
ELMER HOFFMAN
RE-ELECTED CHAIRMAN
OF BOARD
Elmer H. Hoffman of Greentown
has been re-elected chairman of the
board of trustees of the Molly
Stark Sanatorium, it was announced today. Other*- members of the
board are Dr. J. E. Aten and James
Neely, both of Canton.
The board considered general administrative problems at its reorganization meeting.
A radio-operated device which will permit pilots, even with
ceiling an visibility approaching zero, to. lean back and let
their planes fly themselves in, has been installed at Akron-
Canton Memorial Airport. It has been tested out satisfactorily and now awaits only final Civil Aeronautics Authority ap
proval for, its use.
The installation (which is known
as "Instrument Landing System"
or U.S., is one of the first of 105
to be made at leading airports in
the nation and is owned and operated by the CAA. It cost $30,000.
Bringing a plane in "on the
beam" is simplicity itself for anyone who can fly a ship. At five
mile's south of the field, the plane's
receiver starts picking up signals
from a glide path transmitter at
the airport.
The flier sets the automatic pilot,
which leads the plane down a precise sloping beam to a point approximately 40 feet above the runway. Then the human pilot takes
over and sets the ship down.
All the pilot has to do until this
time is watch a cross pointer indicator on the instrument panel as
he monitors the automatic approach. As long as the vertical and
horizontal needles are at right angles, he knows the plane is on the
right course at the proper decent,
which is approximately 300 feet
per minute in an airliner. — __
■ The landing system is designe'd-
not only to make air travel safer
but to bring less interruption of

The- system could be used when

gets that bad, planes • probably
would try to find another field. The
system will be used mostly when
there'is a small amount of ceiling
so that the pilot can see the earth
before his wheels touch.
Showery Month of April Sets
New Record in Rainfall
This April has been the wettest since that fateful year of
1929, when the depression started. In 1929, April showers
added up to 7.58 inches. This year the precipitation was 4.82
inches as against the normal of 3.16 inches.
It rained 24 days out of the SO
during April. There were only 6
clear days, 13 partly cloudy and 11
cloudy. The heaviest rain was experienced oni the 4th when a total
of 1" fell in 24 hours.
Subnormal . temperatures were
felt all over the nation not only
here in North Canton when the
temperature dropped on the eighth
and the 28th, there were also
frosts on the 13, 14, 15, and 29th.
As a result of the unusual rainfall many acres of farm land remain unplowed and the corn crop
will suffer unless more favorable
weather comes quickly. Though as
experts, of the Department of
Agriculture say, a late planting
season can be overcome by the use
of hybrid varieties which mature
early.
The mean monthly temperature
was 49.04, the maximum 80 on the
5th and the lowest on the 8th.

church people and public officials to oppose lynching.
"We also earnestly deplore the injection of Race as an issue in any political campaign because doing so provides a
smokescreen to hide real issues; foments fear and distrust on
the part of both races; breeds hatred, injustice and lynch-
ings and encourages Hate organizations; destroys good government; undermines World Peace by causing other nations
to doubt our sincerity.
"We do affirm our unalterable opposition to a 'white primary' because it is in direct violation of the constitutions of
the U. S. and the U. N., of the Discipline of the Methodist
Church, of the Social Creed of the Churches and the principles of the Christian religion. We favor in its place educational requirements fairly and equally administered for all voters.
"We urge our nation to accept it full share "of responsibility
in providing homes for displaced and homeless victims of
totalitarian brutality and religious persecution and we pledge
ourselves as Christians to respond liberally to the calls for
World Relief as long as the need exists."
These women know what Christianity means and what
Americanism is. When more of us have their understanding
and their courage—we shall get on rapidly with the important business of building America in the true traditions of
the founding fathers.
Truth Shows the Way
These are facts of significance. They show what has been
happening- to the people of the United States in the past ten
years during which the pitiless spotlight of truth has been
thrown on the activities of those who have sought to-spread
malicious propaganda to set race against religion. As a result, the American people are more aware 'today than they
have hitherto been of the dangers inherent in the propaganda of the hate-mongers—and they are acting to preserve the
demoer&cy which subversive groups would destroy.
Well aware of .all this, the American. people are setting
themselves against it. They have determined to build a better
democracy. They know that, in order to do it, racial andireli-
gious bigotry must be banished from American life."
ELMER HOFFMAN
RE-ELECTED CHAIRMAN
OF BOARD
Elmer H. Hoffman of Greentown
has been re-elected chairman of the
board of trustees of the Molly
Stark Sanatorium, it was announced today. Other*- members of the
board are Dr. J. E. Aten and James
Neely, both of Canton.
The board considered general administrative problems at its reorganization meeting.
A radio-operated device which will permit pilots, even with
ceiling an visibility approaching zero, to. lean back and let
their planes fly themselves in, has been installed at Akron-
Canton Memorial Airport. It has been tested out satisfactorily and now awaits only final Civil Aeronautics Authority ap
proval for, its use.
The installation (which is known
as "Instrument Landing System"
or U.S., is one of the first of 105
to be made at leading airports in
the nation and is owned and operated by the CAA. It cost $30,000.
Bringing a plane in "on the
beam" is simplicity itself for anyone who can fly a ship. At five
mile's south of the field, the plane's
receiver starts picking up signals
from a glide path transmitter at
the airport.
The flier sets the automatic pilot,
which leads the plane down a precise sloping beam to a point approximately 40 feet above the runway. Then the human pilot takes
over and sets the ship down.
All the pilot has to do until this
time is watch a cross pointer indicator on the instrument panel as
he monitors the automatic approach. As long as the vertical and
horizontal needles are at right angles, he knows the plane is on the
right course at the proper decent,
which is approximately 300 feet
per minute in an airliner. — __
■ The landing system is designe'd-
not only to make air travel safer
but to bring less interruption of

The- system could be used when
the fog is hogging the ground and
ceiling and visibility actually at
2ero. However, when the weather
gets that bad, planes • probably
would try to find another field. The
system will be used mostly when
there'is a small amount of ceiling
so that the pilot can see the earth
before his wheels touch.
Showery Month of April Sets
New Record in Rainfall
This April has been the wettest since that fateful year of
1929, when the depression started. In 1929, April showers
added up to 7.58 inches. This year the precipitation was 4.82
inches as against the normal of 3.16 inches.
It rained 24 days out of the SO
during April. There were only 6
clear days, 13 partly cloudy and 11
cloudy. The heaviest rain was experienced oni the 4th when a total
of 1" fell in 24 hours.
Subnormal . temperatures were
felt all over the nation not only
here in North Canton when the
temperature dropped on the eighth
and the 28th, there were also
frosts on the 13, 14, 15, and 29th.
As a result of the unusual rainfall many acres of farm land remain unplowed and the corn crop
will suffer unless more favorable
weather comes quickly. Though as
experts, of the Department of
Agriculture say, a late planting
season can be overcome by the use
of hybrid varieties which mature
early.
The mean monthly temperature
was 49.04, the maximum 80 on the
5th and the lowest on the 8th.
